NK-lysin, an effector of cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells, is a potent antimicrobial peptide widely distributed in mammals. Homologues of NK-lysin have been discovered in several teleost species, but only sever...
Galectin-8 is a member of the galectin family that is involved in immune response against pathogens. However, the roles of fish galectin-8 during pathogen infection require comprehensive studies. In this study, a galecti...
Interaction of CD28 with CD80 or CD86 molecules provides a costimulatory signals required in T cell activation. In this study, we cloned and analyzed a CD28 gene (On-CD28) and a CD80/86 gene (On-CD80/86) from Nile tilapi...
Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) is a multifunctional cytokine that especially plays an important role in innate immune. However, the roles of LECT2 in the immune response of the economically important fish Ni...
Herbal supplements are suitable for improving fish health and combating diseases in fish culture. However, the mechanism of action of many herbal mixtures remains unclear. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects...
The aquaculture sector predicts protein-rich meals by 2040 and has experienced significant economic shifts since 2000. However, challenges emanating from disease control measures, brood stock improvement, feed advancemen...
Galectin-9 is a < beta > -galactoside-binding lectin which could modulate a variety of biological functions including recognition, aggregation and clearance of pathogen. In this study, a galectin-9 homologue (OnGal-9) wa...
The immunomodulatory roles of Chinese herbal Medicine (CHM) in aquatic animals have been well-recorded. However, how CHM impacts the intestinal microbiota and serum metabolism is not fully understood. In this study, the ...
Pyroptosis is an inflammatory and programmed cell death initiated by the formation of the inflammasome, which consists of NLR, ASC, and Caspase. Pyroptosis has received growing attention due to its association with innat...
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is a well-known neurotransmitter affecting emotion, behavior, and cognition. Additionally, numerous immunomodulatory functions of serotonin have been discovered in mammals. However, the re...
Interleukin 8 (IL8) is vital in promoting inflammation and is a crucial mediator in various physiopathological processes while influencing immunological function. The effect of IL8 on the immunological response to acute ...
Galectin-3 is a kind of beta-galactoside-binding lectin involved in host defense against pathogen infection. However, the immune functions of fish galectin-3 remain poorly understood. In this study, the roles of a fish g...
